Main Pathways and Ion Channels Differentially Expressed in the Transcriptome of Male and Female Adult Angiostrongylus cantonensis using a Deep Sequencing Approach
Background: The adult stage is an important period in the life cycle of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, as it is at this stage that male and female worms produce thousands of fertilized eggs daily. Methods: To explore the transcriptional details of adult male and female A. cantonensis, three groups...
